Rare Books copy has circulation card for Mt. St. Alphonsus Library inside back cover; also label pasted on title page.
This copy is an uncommon schoolbook edition, and it shows evidence of readership and assiduous translation. The first five biographies were extensively annotated in Latin by an early hand, with both interlinear and shoulder notes. It's a very nice example of a surviving, utilized classroom copy of a classic Classical work.
